Des hommes déguisés en femme
Pourquoi ? Cette tradition remonte à l’époque de la pêche en Islande. Les marins partaient pendant de longs mois. Les femmes lavaient tous les vêtements de leurs maris. Pendant ce temps, les hommes revêtaient les habits de leurs femmes et faisaient la fête avant de partir pour un long voyage.

Men disguised as a woman
Why? This tradition goes up at the time of fishing in Iceland. The sailors left during long months. The women washed all clothing of their husbands. During this time, the men adorn the clothes of their wives and had fun the festival before leaving for a long trip.
